 * Hello. Sorry about the warning template above, that was maybe a bit strong. It just comes down to sources, really - we have a press clipping that mentions Carr attending Farnham Common School, but we don't have anything confirming that he attended Burnham Grammar School. We can't use the word of a brother of an ex-pupil as a source (everything in Wikipedia has to come from a reliable source), and we can't use the Burnham Grammar School article as a source for the same reason.
 * I've had a look to see if I can find any news sources that mention both Carr's name and Burnham Grammar School, but I'm not getting anything. If he's not yet mentioned it in a press interview or biography, it can't yet be included in Wikipedia. --McGeddon (talk) 09:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Good work on finding a source. Let me know if you need any help formatting it as a reference. --McGeddon (talk) 10:14, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've tracked down the URL of the article and cleaned the reference up a bit. Thanks for improving the article! --McGeddon (talk) 11:47, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * No problem. Apologies for the slightly heavy-handed warning template! Give me a shout if you ever need any help with anything else. --McGeddon (talk) 11:59, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
